"A great book about a great man, filled with interesting matter from cover to cover." -Homiletic Review, 1919 In Cecil Rhodes, Man and Empire-Maker (1918), the Princess Catherine Radziwill affords us a wonderful study of this intensely human personality at close range, his greatness and his weakness, his soaring ambitions and his sensitive nature. She also makes clear for us the tangles of South African Politics, lays bare the intrigue that lurked behind the celebrated Jameson Raid, and the outbreak of the Boer War, and details the methods by which the British attempted to weld the once troubled states of the dark continent into a peaceful, contented, and prosperous democracy. It is a study of the life and achievements of Cecil Rhodes together with a revelation of the evolution of South Africa. Also includes character studies of such men as Sir Starr Jameson, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, President Kruger etc. Princess Catherine Radziwiłł (1858 – 1941) was a notable Polish aristocrat. Born in Russia, carefully educated, in 1873 she married the Polish Prince Wilhelm Radziwiłł. In the summer 1899 Catherine Radziwill left for South Africa setting her eyes on South African-based British magnate and politician Cecil Rhodes. They initially became friends, but Rhodes, pulled away from her. Nevertheless, he paid her debts and sent her back to London, where Catherine published the book The Resurrection of Peter, defending Rhodes. Radziwill's other books include: The Resurrection of Peter My Recollections, 1904 Behind the Veil at the Russian Court, 1914 The Royal Marriage Market of Europe, 1915 The Austrian Court From Within, 1916 Sovereigns and Statesmen of Europe, 1916 Because it was Written, 1916 The Black Dwarf of Vienna, and other weird stories, 1916 Germany under Three Emperors, 1917 Russia's Decline and Fall: The Secret History of a Great Debacle, 1918 Rasputin and the Russian Revolution, 1918 Confessions of the Czarina, 1918 The Firebrand of Bolshevism, 1919 Secrets of Dethroned Royalty, 1920 Those I Remember, 1924 The Intimate Life of the Last Tsarina, 1929 Child of Pity: The Little PrinceRides Away, 1930 Nicholas II: The Last of the Tsars, 1931 The Taint of the Romanovs, 1931 It Really Happened; An Autobiography by Princess Catherine Radziwiłł, 1932 The Empress Frederick, 1934.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
